Steel company Tenaris has been selected by TotalEnergies and Saipem to supply a wide range of tubular solutions for the GranMorgu project, the first deepwater oil development off the coast of Suriname.
The participation of the GranMorgu
TotalEnergies awarded Tenaris the supply of casing and tubing under its Rig Direct service model. These solutions will include approximately 47,000 tons of casing and tubing, manufactured with special steels such as Chrome 13 and equipped with TenarisHydril Blue and Wedge Series connections. These components are essential for safe operations in demanding subsea environments.
On the other hand, Saipemthe project’s EPC contract, opted for Tenaris’s seamless pipelines to transport crude oil, water and gas through subsea lines. This package includes 190 kilometers of carbon steel piping coated with anti-corrosion technology and thermal insulation, essential elements to maintain the efficiency of the system at depths of up to 1,100 meters.
Rig Direct services will enable the company to manage the logistics of the pipes from an installed base in Suriname, providing support in demand planning, inventory control, material preparation and returns. In addition, the One Line model will facilitate industrial coordination between plants in Italy and Mexico for the manufacture, coating and delivery of the required pipelines.
The GranMorgu field, located in Block 58, contemplates a daily production of up to 220,000 barrels of oil, through a network of subsea wells connected to a floating processing unit (FPSO). Extraction is expected to begin in 2028, positioning Suriname as a relevant new player in the South American offshore landscape.
Technical highlights include the use of Dopeless coating, a grease-free technology that improves operational safety, reduces handling times and minimizes environmental impact.
